Schools in Zip Code 55751

ZIP code 55751 covers Iron, Minnesota, and contains two schools sharing a single campus at 3943 Tamminen Rd, both in the St. Louis County School District: Cherry Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 297 students, and Cherry Secondary, serving grades 7–12 with 273 students, for a combined enrollment of roughly 570.

Cherry Elementary is the standout. It earned 3 stars and reached the 59th percentile in 2025–2026, up from 2 stars and the 45th percentile two years earlier. Its proficiency beats the district in all three subjects — math 43.6%, reading 52.1%, science 35.9% — and beats the state in reading and science, with math just slightly under the state. Third-grade math (63.6%), fifth-grade reading (62.5%), and sixth-grade reading (59%) are particular strengths, while fourth-grade reading (25%) lags. Notably, the elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (38.05%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8) than the secondary school, yet stronger academic results.

Cherry Secondary shows a mixed picture. Its rank slipped from the 35th percentile (2 stars) to the 14th percentile (1 star), with proficiency of 27.8% in math, 41.9% in reading, and 6.8% in science — below the district in math and science and below the state in all three. Its End of Course Science result is suppressed by the state, so that figure is unknown rather than zero. The weakest spots are 11th-grade math (10.3% vs 35.3% statewide) and 10th-grade reading (22% vs 42.5% statewide). Against that, its 93.7% graduation rate exceeds both the district's 93.2% and the state's 84.9%, and its 4.1% dropout rate is near the state's 4.2% — a real strength despite low test scores.
